in thread Perl as interactive Shell?

Please elaborate "ability to communicate with itself" (?)

Best with examples.°

... the rest sounds buzzwordy (and sorry also "sundial'ish" )

°) I have the impression you don't know much about Perl's possibilities to communicate.

    Means you are trying to use shell in Perl when you should be using shell to use Perl:
    curl -o - 'http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=1190142' | \ perl -Mojo -e'a("/"=>{text=>do{local$/;<STDIN>}})->start' daemon
      So using Perl in a REPL like the debugger is "VERBOTEN" ?

      I prefer facts over dogmas.
